Marcus Friberg is one tough racer but…..

15 August, 2015 Published by: Lars Strom

Well..this is one perfect example why boat racing is not the way it use to be.
The Mercury boys have over the last ten years made fun of Evinrude not racing.
Marcus Friberg stepped up to the plate and took the risk of going racing in Sweden with Evinrude power last year. Marcus won lots of races in the V-150 class with his Nitra boat powered by Evinrude 150 H.O. Beating the Mercury powered boats in the same class.
Well this year Marcus built a new Nitra Boat for the bigger V-300 class. He picked the brand new Evinrude G2 250H.O. as the power plant.
Mercury outboards was again left in the dust as long as Marcus had enough fuel in the tank.
Now the Mercury boats are staying home and don’t race in the V-300 class anymore.
Today in the Nynas Offshore Race in Sweden Marcus was the only participant in the V-300 class /Nordic Offshore Powerboat Championship.
He raced anyway and was fighting the bigger Merc inboard boats and did pretty good.
Marcus..don’t give in. The boat racing world need entrepreneurs like you..

Roslagsloppet Offshore Race 2015

10 August, 2015 Published by: Lars Strom

My short take on this classic famous boat race I have been part of for many times in the past.
It is pretty incredible that so many drivers pick Evinrude as their choice of power and doing extremely well.
You have to remember there is no support from the Evinrude factory run by BRP.
Regardless..the private drivers paying for there own Evinrude Outboards, parts and service won four very popular classes by beating the competition.
I am so happy for them and so disappointed I could not get the BRP management to at least show some interest for boat racers around the world.
As a former racer, dealer and Evinrude Ambassador I know how important it is the be number one.

Extra congratulations to the four class winners with Evinrude power below…and congrats to the other class winners also.
